I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.
In the larger world, tribalism is an enormous problem, as it ever has been: both strength and idiocy borne from belonging.
Let me say it diplomatically: Most religions are tribal to some degree.
Religion leaves no room for human complexity.
Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.
We've got to find ways of confronting the issues that divide - and at the heart of cultural issues, you often find religions.
In a lot of Indian societies, spirituality has been lost, I think it's still the best way of looking at the world for Indians - better than any organized religion in this country.
Religious belief itself is an adaptation that has evolved because we're hard-wired to form tribalistic religions.
Religion and culture are two important ways in which we as humans find our identity. That's certainly true for me.
I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.
